Giving a company that won't stand behind their products hundreds more dollars of my money is not a "fix" to the problem in my opinion. And the dept they want me to send it to isn't warranty repair. It's the post crash safety inspection dept. And when I ask if this will result in any warranty inspection and or work I get the same old copy and paste. So i'm 85% almost certian that all that is going to happen is I'll get it back with a letter saying it safe of not safe and nothing will be done to fix the problems.

I've had it 2 years its not Mike's problem. Shoei customer service is like talking to a repeating record. Only answer I get is the copy and paste from there web site where it says how to ship to them for a post crash type inspection. But they wont answer the question on if anything will be done if they find a problem.

Yea, like 15 min ago..lol

I said since I seen it at IMS that the new one fixed all the issues the old one had. My bitch is Shoei won't admit the original had problems and want to help folks out with them.

+1000

This is about all I use them for. I even tell their Associates that when they come and ask me if they can help me. I just tell them don't want to take up thier time because I'm not going to buy it here anyway. I have found a few things in there on clearance I've purchased but pretty rare. You would think with their buying power and the size they are they would be competitive in their pricing but No they're always full-blown retail.

The more of these stories I hear, and I've heard quite a few lately, the more I do not want to give them any of my money.

I don't know the science or the dynamics of water off a moving surface all i know is I've had a CF hugger on min since day one and it keep the spray and grim off of me and the tail of the bike. I've heard ther guys on C14 say the same thing after they installed their huggers.

I'm thinking about doing this to it too.

That was top case I bought a new lock set for. Key blanks cant be found for the one i had. Well they could but the lock set was about the same price. It was only $22

Im always leaving the key in my panniers because of convenience. What isn't convienent is when I kick it and bend it sideways. So today I fix all that for $7 and some stuff I already had. Stopped at a local hardware store and had 3 keys made for $7. Found 3 oil caps in the trash and some epoxy in the tool box and a can of plastidip. Why 3 you ask? Incase i fucked one up and or lost one later Before.... Durring.... after....

Hugger FTW !!

I think he's referring to the FJR not the helmet.

Wonder what audience they were going after with that one? @JustinNck1

The C14s are notorious for flying off if a bump is hit just right and the bag didnt get latched properly.

Cool. Just curious

What made you want to pin them like that? I thought about doing it that way but decided I wanted them more easily removable. So I went this route.

Well got all the other coolant hoses today and stripped her back down and put them on. Glad I didn't say fuck it on the oil cooler lines the one was dried out and cracked about half way through. Recovered the coolant that's only been in the bike for less than a week and filtered it through a rag and there was a bit of sedoment that came out with it. When I put the fairings back on last week they fought me like something was wrong. Today they just fell into place. Today I also took my trim pieces that are under my handle bars and gave them a coat of plastidip. These had stain marks on then from brake fluid spills from my clutch and brake res a few years ago. Cant put the scews in yet till dry but look much better. Sorry forgot to take a before pic. I'm sure I have one somewhere. Was going to rode to work tomorow but I was ask to take a coworker home so I guess she will have to wait another day.

Just busting your balls brother...lol

You were in my hood and didn't even stop in for a beer?

Thanks again for hosting sam. The wife made me go weekly grocery shopping at Wal-Mart on the way home while I'm still drunk. She's a evil woman I yell you.

Be leaving the house as soon as the women folk get back from a dress fitting. Should be any time. I have my propane tank and both heaters in the car. Will be stopping at a store to grab some cookies and or other sweets on the way. Let me know if there are any request and or anything that was forgotten that I can pick up.

I'll bring a freshly filed tank if your brining the heater. Filled it Sunday and only cooked 3 steaks with it.

Think all that time spent with @Danimal is taking its toll. ..
